Yes. Well. He always had a golden tongue. [ gruffly ]
But aye, he did. He is, I think, one of the oldest of the Elves in Middle-earth, and certainly there are... perhaps a scant handful of the Amanyar left who can claim to be older than he.
Ah well. The young one is only newly come to this household. His father was killed by orcs, and Lord Elrond decided that for safety it would be better if he and his mother were sequestered here. You may encounter her, if you wander - a tall, sad, strong-willed lady, is the Lady Gilraen. But young Estel is a bright young soul. He deals well with his upheaval, in truth, I am not sure how much he remembers, for he was very young when he came to us, and he has been here for over two years now, and started to call Lord Elrond "Ada" just the last winter.
